Yeah but the real question is, why the hell did you choose to look at the URL instead of the image itself?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's not such a bad idea to be in the habit of looking at URLs before you click on them generally, FYI. But in this case it wasn't really a choice.

Nah I mean it literally just showed me a picture by default because OP put it as a ![] () format

That's good to know. However, you asked:

I didn't choose, as I just showed you. What you saw is what I saw.

I use the same and got the popup yesterday

Update uBlock, reset filters to default, block your extensions and see if that helped. If things started working gradually start enabling extensions and check if popup started showing.

You likely have an extension that blocks too much and allows YouTube to detect adblocker.

Same, but I figured out that on Plasma X11 they won't show up while on Plasma Wayland they do... (was it random?)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm on Plasma Wayland and haven't seen the popup, yet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In my experience the popup comes up if and only if you have any custom blocking list enabled. Default uBlock filter lists are fine

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not true. I reset all my ublock settings to default and disabled any other adblockers like they recommended and I still got the popup. I then decided to use invidious instead.

weird, sticking with default lists fixed the issue for me and the moment I enabled any of the Easylist or Annoyances filters it come up again

Alright I've disabled easylist but now I'm receiving annoying sponsored widgets on my home screen and side bars so I might as well disable my adblocker at that point.
